[General] Firebolt that causes burning oil

im trying to make a firebolt spell, which is firebolt + causes burning oil.
how should i get about doing that ?

edit: i have tried to do it through dummy, it would not set the ground on fire.
  • Fire Bolt
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fire Bolt (warlord)
    • Actions
      • Set FireBolt_Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
      • Unit - Create 1 Attack Dummy (0 Collision) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of FireBolt_Target) facing (Position of FireBolt_Target)
      • Set FireBolt_Dummy = (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Add a 10.00 second Generic expiration timer to FireBolt_Dummy
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (FireBolt_Target is alive) Equal to True
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Add Burning Oil (dummy) to FireBolt_Dummy
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_FireBolt_Point)
          • Set FireBolt_Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
          • Unit - Order FireBolt_Dummy to Attack Ground FireBolt_Point
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_FireBolt_Point)
        • Else - Actions
could it be that the trigger, or perhaps the dummy was configured incorrectly ? here is the dummy unit definition:
